Specifications
The Felder FB 640 is a professional bandsaw designed for precise cutting, shaping, and resawing of solid wood. It is built for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking operations that require increased cutting capacity while maintaining accuracy and stability. The FB 640 is designed for cutting solid wood, including hardwoods and softwoods. With proper blade selection, it can also be used for resawing thick stock and processing certain non-ferrous materials commonly encountered in woodworking. The FB 640 is well suited for furniture making, custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, curved cutting, and resawing applications where higher capacity and consistent performance are required. The FB 640 is engineered for high accuracy and smooth operation using a rigid machine frame, precision-balanced wheels, and adjustable blade guidance systems that support stable, vibration-controlled cutting. The FB 640 is capable of straight cuts, curved cuts, contour shaping, and resawing, making it a versatile bandsaw for a wide range of professional woodworking tasks. The FB 640 offers increased capacity compared to smaller models like the FB 510 and FB 610, while remaining more compact than larger industrial options such as the FB 710. It is a strong choice for shops needing additional resaw height without moving to the largest footprint. A bandsaw improves workflow by enabling efficient curved cutting and resawing with minimal material waste. It also allows safer processing of certain workpieces compared to table saws, particularly when handling thick or irregular stock. Selecting the correct blade width, tooth configuration, and tension for the specific material and cut type is essential for achieving clean cuts, smooth finishes, and extended blade life. The Felder FB 640 is manufactured in Austria. Felder Group machinery is known for Austrian-built equipment that emphasizes precision engineering, build quality, and long-term reliability. The FB 640 is ideal for professional cabinet shops, furniture makers, and woodworking operations that require a higher-capacity bandsaw for cutting, shaping, and resawing while maintaining a manageable shop footprint.Felder | FB 640 Bandsaw FAQ
